Triple barreling regs in a 3b pot with no history (besides me misclick min 3b from the blinds holding 83o) - what the hell was I thinking.

9.5 BI in one day. The fish were out in full force. I must have killed like five or six.

After they all left, I had to stop playing. Once I got in the fish killing mindset, I couldn't get back to playing real poker.

Well, this guy had been just going insane for a while. I waited for an hour on a waitlist to play with him. He had been running incredagood too, getting up to 12BI.

By the time I get there, he's lost half of it, so while everyone else is waiting for pocket As and Ks, I'm just trying to get it in with anything that seems like a decent hand.

So this hand had set it up.

And for a while longer, no one was willing to touch him. Good for me, since I want the rest of the chips.

I ended up having to flip for it, but I was clearly ahead of his range and I prevailed.

Start off with a brag....mucking top two pair too bottom set on the turn. .25 - .50 home game

villian limps in UTG ...3 people limp in I have Ace 10 off suit on the button and decide to call. small blind completes, blind checks.

flop comes down A 10 2 everybody checks to me I bet $4 small blind calls, player UTG checkraises me to $15. I tank count out a $30 raise glance at my opponet notices he's smirking and decide to just call. I'm almost 95% positive he has pocket 2s now and hope to see an ace or 10 on the turn. small blind calls the $14. turn comes down 8.

player under the gun hurls $25 into the middle I tank it and muck ace 10. guy flips over pocket deuces.

I base this decision on the fact that I have a lot of history with this player. noticed his smirk and could not think of a hand that I could beat that he would play this way. Later I thought a posibilty was maybe he has A 10 also. Don't think anybody would play ace king that way.

so kudos to me.

later in the session ended up losing it all when i flopped a set of sixes on a guy with pocket queens and he whacked a queen on the river lost $120 that hand. What a beat.

first day at 10NL, i think 10NL likes me. didnt notice any big difference, maybe a little bit more agressive preflop and Pairs get easier stacked off on flop.

up 6BI, running at 25bb/100hands

What is with people who feel the need to play back at me? This guy had been just 3betting me like mad.

So all three of these hands were against the same opponent in chronological order.

Villian's mini-checkraise on the flop just screamed "SET" to me. I guess I'm just not good enough to fold here.

Lately when I get my money in as 95% favorite I am not so much thinking CHACHING! as I am: What goddamn spectacular way am I going to lose this time. It seems that whenever I am hands down favorite I am really a coin flip at best. This month I have lost so many AA vs KK or AK or I have KK they have QQ or...you get the idea...and sometimes they do hit trips. Mostly its been runner runner flushes or straights. Just now I flop top set with KK some donk puts their money in with QQ and boom! Runner runner straight. Now I am gona have to grind for an hour just to brake even. BTW what is wrong with PT? Why can it not calculate my expected win rate properly. Does the blue line only refer to AI preflop? Also it does not seem to account for situations where villain is all in and I cover. Those situations should be counted into the blue line as well....Ok end venting...

I feel you SemiSimple, figuratively speaking that is. My month at $50 NL has been horrid. I'm running like 1.5 BB/100, partly because of one tilt fest enduced by an all-in call by 66 in a 3-bet pot when I 3-bet his CR on the flop and he went runner runner straight to beat my AA when he called.

One of these days I'll end up putting together two solid months in a row. Still up over $800 thanks to a few sessions of $200 NL 6-max. Braggaments.

Ok so after horrible afternoon...I bottomed out at -$139 and this is at 25nl so its almost 6BI. Some of it might have been bad play but honestly at least 100 was incredible bad beats and coolers. I grinded for 6hrs and got back to +.35 cents.
